Patent number: 11100181Abstract: A search continuation device and its operations include, for example, performing a first electronic search based on first search criteria. The first electronic search generates first search results. The operations can further include electronically storing search data associated with the first electronic search (e.g., in a user account). The operations can further include performing a second electronic search with second search criteria substantially similar to the first search criteria. The second electronic search generates second search results. The operations can further include, retrieving the search data (e.g., from the user account), and providing, based on the search data, one or more indicators for presentation with the second search results. The one or more indicators specify continued search information, such as a degree to which content contained within an item of the first search results was previously accessed or a difference between the first search results and the second search results.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2019Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kun Bai, Di Ling Chen, Christian Benjamin Kau, Zhi Cheng Liu, Patrick Joseph O'Sullivan

Patent number: 10212058Abstract: Performance regression between a first version of an application and a second version of the application are detected using a comparison between transaction response times measured at a plurality of resource levels of a computer system. A first set of transaction response times (for the first version) are used to determine lower and upper limit line graphs. A new line graph determined from second set of transaction response times (for the second version) can be compared with the lower and upper limit line graphs to detect a performance regression.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2016Date of Patent: February 19, 2019Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Hitham Ahmed Assem Aly Salama, Shadi Ghaith, Christian Benjamin Kau, Patrick Joseph O'Sullivan

Publication number: 20170286561Abstract: A native application executing on a user's device can receive a selection of one or more content items. The one or more content items can be selected via a cursor positioning device or via a gesture on a touch screen. In some aspects, the type of gesture can indicate a priority for loading the one or more content items onto the user's device. The one or more content items can be loaded while other content items are being processed by the user's device.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 4, 2016Publication date: October 5, 2017Inventors: Kun Bai, Di Ling Chen, Christian Benjamin Kau, Zhi Cheng Liu, Patrick Joseph O'Sullivan

Patent number: 9053110Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to interaction-based management of contact entries. In one embodiment, at least one contact in a set of contacts is determined to be associated with an archiving indicator. The archiving indicator indicates that one or more archiving operations are to be performed on the at least one contact. The set of contacts is associated with a user. At least one archiving threshold associated with the at least one contact is identified based on the determination. A determination is made as to whether the at least one archiving threshold has been satisfied. The at least one contact is archived based on the at least one archiving threshold having been satisfied.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2012Date of Patent: June 9, 2015Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Christian Benjamin Kau, Jeffrey S. Pierce, Christine M. Robson, Jerald T. Schoudt
